Supporting youth as they begin their summer semester in person

red Plus prepaid card offers students a wide range of benefits and discounts that suit their lifestyle

Gulf Bank welcomed students of Gulf University for Science and Technology (GUST) as they returned to campus for in-person classes at the start of the summer semester.

The Bank’s team was present on campus through an interactive booth, engaging with students and introducing them to banking solutions designed around their needs, including the red youth account and the red Plus prepaid card. The visit created an opportunity to connect directly with students, answer their questions, and highlight the importance of building financial awareness at an early stage.

Gulf Bank’s presence at GUST reflects its continued commitment to supporting young people beyond traditional banking. Through its youth-focused initiatives, the Bank aims to be closer to students in the spaces where they learn, grow, and prepare for their future.

Supporting youth remains a key pillar of Gulf Bank’s strategy. The Bank continues to strengthen its partnerships with educational institutions, with the aim of empowering students, enhancing their financial literacy, and helping them develop the confidence to make informed financial decisions as they begin shaping their academic and professional paths.

During the visit, students showed strong interest in learning more about the red account and red Plus prepaid card, which were designed specifically for students and young people. These solutions help students manage their daily spending, track expenses, set budgets, and gain practical experience in using banking tools responsibly.

The red account offers young customers a simple and accessible way to begin their banking journey, with no minimum balance required to open the account. It also brings together a range of benefits that match students’ lifestyles, including rewards, selected offers, and access to experiences that go beyond everyday banking.

Upon transferring their student allowance and activating the red Plus prepaid card, customers receive 5,000 welcome points through the “Gulf Points” program. These points can be redeemed for cashback or used for purchases through the Bank’s onlien store. Students can also benefit from vouchers at popular restaurants, cafés, and clothing stores, KD 50 worth of Oula fuel, and a daily 50% discount on cinema tickets from Cinescape and VOX Cinemas.

As part of its participation, Gulf Bank also supported the “Let’s Be Aware” campaign, encouraging students to strengthen their understanding of banking rights and responsibilities, safe banking practices, and ways to protect themselves from financial fraud.

Gulf Bank’s engagement with GUST students comes as part of its wider approach to building meaningful and long-term relationships with young people. By meeting students in their academic environment and listening to their needs, the Bank continues to reinforce its role as a partner in their educational, personal, and professional journey.
